1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Mitochondria are central to myriad biochemical processes, and thus even their moderate impairment could have drastic cellular consequences if not rectified. Here, to explore cellular strategies for surmounting mitochondrial stress, we conducted a series of chemical and genetic perturbations to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and analysed the cellular responses using deep multiomic mass spectrometry profiling. We discovered that mobilization of lipid droplet triacylglycerol stores was necessary for strains to mount a successful recovery response. In particular, acyl chains from these stores were liberated by triacylglycerol lipases and used to fuel biosynthesis of the quintessential mitochondrial membrane lipid cardiolipin to support new mitochondrial biogenesis. We demonstrate that a comparable recovery pathway exists in mammalian cells, which fail to recover from doxycycline treatment when lacking the ATGL lipase. Collectively, our work reveals a key component of mitochondrial stress recovery and offers a rich resource for further exploration of the broad cellular responses to mitochondrial dysfunction.
